Bottom line, the megathreads are pointless and only serve to contain somewhat controversial topics at the expense of diversity of opinion and quality of NSG through the creation of these echochambers.
How exactly are you aware of the extent of this problem if you just came back today? Have you been searching through months and months of NSG archives?

For the discussion itself? Well... not the kind of thing I would participate largely in, but I would just let these threads stay.
I meant the whole “being able to check entire megathreads in a day and understand what is going on” part. I just found hammer’s the most convenient to quote

Who's this "we" you're talking about?
Cause so far most people seem perfectly fine with the MT's.

And of course, if one subtopic grows too large to lumped into one megathread, you could always create another megathread.
This is not what happens, more that a one off thread gets merged into the megathread.
Which irks me because suddenly I have been posting in threads that I ignore on purpose. And can't find where the particular subdiscussion was again, lost in various amounts of other stuff that is unuseful to me.

Don't worry about "our jobs". The objective of the megathreads is to benefit the readership, not the moderators. We think it's better to have one ongoing thread on, say, abortion rather than 50 new ones every time someone gets a bug to start a new one. That's really the only thing that we should be discussing.
